PV Comets - COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Coaches will focus on the development of a player’s netball skills, promote fair play and
sportsmanship. They will focus on the positives, improve player weaknesses and aim for maximum
performance in players. Coaches will show a commitment to improving their own coaching abilities.
The predominant role of coaches will be the planning and running of training sessions and
coaching their team at matches. The coach will abide by the coaches code of conduct (see this
Club Philosophy URL: http://pvcomets.com.au/)
Where a section has more than one team, the club philosophy is that the 1st coach takes the lead
in the training of that squad. The 1st coach has the role to discuss with other coaches the
development of individual players and discuss player movement between teams. If a player is
required in a higher division the 1st coach is to pick the player based on consultation with the 2nds
coach. No players hold a permanent place in any team – player movement is based on
performance. It is the player’s current coach’s job to notify the player of the movement.
The 2nd coach will liaise with the 1st coach about training session and about team selections. Each
coach will have time with their particular team at training, to help with team familiarization and
cohesion. The squad training is seen as important because it allows players in the 1st and 2nd team
to train together and allow players to play with the higher skilled players and look to improve their
skills. It also allows familiarization across the squad of all players with systems, team strategies
and skill levels that will allow for smoother transition of players between teams. In the case of a 3rd
team, we encourage the 2nds teams to train with the 3rds occasionally. This is all dependent on
the court bookings, division difference and level of player skill. Note: the heavier focus on squad
training (with some team training) was the results of discussions with coaches and especially with
players and parents of junior teams.
PV Comets coaches will be remunerated. The remuneration provided will depend on their skill and
experience, but also will vary based on the position. The four main coaching roles include: Head
Coach, Coach, Assistant Coach and Game Day coach. The assistant coach role will be given to
those coaches who are the 2nd coach in a junior team (i.e. 11s, 13s, 15s and 17s)

Addendum – Coaches Remuneration Proposed
Previously all coaches get $600 for Autumn season, $400 for Spring season and
tournament coaches get $100 per tournament. The club is looking to pay coaches more,
so is currently examining current financial situation with fees, sponsorship and fundraising
opportunities. Below is a draft remuneration table that is being considered for 2016. Any
ideas, issues or clarification, email [email protected] .

NFL team
Per tournament attended (inc. training)
Experience – has coached 10years local competitions and/or has coach 5 or more years at
representative level
Qualifications – Development level qualification (as per Netball Australia Accreditation
Framework) or recognition of prior learning (eg. TAFE diploma or tertiary degree).
Note(1): the different level of payment reflects not only the experience and/or qualification of a
coach but also the additional role they play. A head coach has additional responsibilities and hence
as a high remuneration. A Coach may need to potential train a squad (often two teams) for a
period during a training session, so therefore will get paid more than an assistant coach who
supports the coach in the same junior age group (11&U – 17&U) with the second team.
Note(2): In the circumstance that two people share a coaching role, they will split the remuneration
for that position.
